We designed a set of postcards to promote a series of events for the BBC Concert Orchestra by using soundwaves to create bespoke graphics for each postcard.

1. The Rest is Noise
BBC Concert Orchestra
The BBC Concert Orchestra host an
eclectic array of concerts and for each
one we create a unique look and feel
and produce bespoke promotional
material relevant to each event.
Taking soundwaves as a graphic cue,
we designed a set of postcards to
promote a series of upcoming events
at London's Southbank Centre.
Forming part of The Rest is Noise
season, the concerts set out to
capture the spirit of the 20th
century and how music reflected
its discords, wars and revolutions.
Each of the A6 postcards – which
were created to send out to the BBC
Concert Orchestra's mailing list and
distributed at at relevant events –
features a graphic that represents a
tiny segment of soundwave from a
particular piece of music that will be
performed at the event it promotes.
By using this visual interpretation of
the music we show the pieces in a
new light and by varying the colour
palettes used and carefully selecting
waveforms, the images still evoke
the subject matter of the music.
Visualising the music
of the 20th Century.
